The lattice gluon propagator in renormalizable $\xi$ gauges

Abstract

We study the SU(3) gluon propagator in renormalizable $R_{\xi }$ gauges implemented on a symmetric lattice with a total volume of (3.25 fm)${}^4$ for values of the guage fixing parameter up to $\xi =0.5$. As expected, the longitudinal gluon dressing function stays constant at its tree-level value $\xi$. Similar to the Landau gauge, the transverse $R_{\xi }$ gauge gluon propagator saturates at a non-vanishing value in the deep infrared for all values of $\xi$ studied. We compare with very recent continuum studies and perform a simple analysis of the found saturation with a dynamically generated effective gluon mass.
